  • You’re Overwhelmed, Addicted, and Alone—Start Making Art

    You’re Overwhelmed, Addicted, and Alone—Start Making Art
    2025/06/06
    Social media connects us and disconnects us—it’s a double-edged sword, and art may just be the tool for individual and collective healing. The world is crazy right now, collectively we are overwhelmed, overconsuming, addicted and lonely. We can watch global events unfold in real time. The democratization that social media has brought us is leaving us connected to people that we never would have been able to meet, but it still leaves us feeling addicted and alone. We are live-streaming genocide from the computer we call our phone, the next scroll is a fart video or misinformation. The algorithm doesn't care about you, it just wants your attention. We need to create, to play, to make art, create community and connection in person. Art, Dance, Music, Poetry, Writing - The Arts Heal. Also, reach out to your government reps, sign online petitions for causes you care about, search locally for movements in your area online and join them in person!!

    Well, this episode was a patchwork quilt to say the least. I had camera and audio issues, I re-recorded it a few times..... to say the least, it was a bit painful to bring it all together, but hey, it's a process and I'm figuring it out along the way!!
